I loved DoS1 and DoS2 and BG2 is best game I have ever played.
Simply put, this "BG3" is actually not a BG game, it is a reskin or updated version of DoS, and it should actually be called DoS3.
I know this might sound harsh or cruel to the devs that put so much effort in this game, but this is the sad truth.
If you really wanted to create an entirely new BG game, then using DoS2 as a template that will be tweaked and modified to be similair to BG, was a completely wrong move IMO.
However, probably the funding was low so this is the best we can get. I hope Larian will eventually move on from their DoS template and create a new original game.
All the best.

Aye, I am on the same page here. You cant deny the fact that BG3 nearly has nothing to do with old games and it feels 99,99% as a reskinned DOS2. So calling it DOS3 is not only fair its actually more suiting. Hope they will listen to Baldurs Gate fans and do some changed regarding that. At least some changes in the art design and a Real Time Combat with Pause would do it for me!

No we are talking about BG3 beeing more a DOS3 than a BG game here.
